Patchy snow began on the Peak trail from the Balcony around 3,100' near the stream crossing and became all snow at 3,700'. Micro-spikes were needed, even on the upper slopes where the snow was soft and slippery. It appeared to be three to four feet deep and a soft cornice was on the summit. Stayed a safe distance from the edge! My gaia gps showed 8.5 miles rt and 3,312' gain.
